‡ Column 6. The numbers in this column contain a large number of addresses which, on being inspected by the Sanitary Inspectors, were found to be already registered by us as Workshops, and are therefore not included in the actual number of outworkers resident in the Borough. The same addresses were included on the Lists of several employers, some being sent in on a dozen Lists.
